Please provide an explanation... if cell surface recpetors can rapidly signal to the nucleus by activating latent gene regulatory proteins such as STAT's at the plasma membrane, why do most cell cell surface receptors use long, indirect signaling cascades to influence gene transcription in the nucleus?
Two intracellular molecules X and Y are both normally synthesized at a constant rate of 1000 molecules per second per cell. Molecules X is broken down slowly: each molecule of X survives on average for 100 seconds, Molecule Y is broken down 10 times faster, each molecule of Y survices on average for 10 seconds. a. calcu
Ethanol in the body is oxidized to acetaldehyde by liver alcohol dehydrogenase (LADH). Other alcohols are also oxidized by LADH. For example, methanol, which is mildly intoxicating, is oxidized by LADH to the quite toxic product formaldehyde. The toxic effects of ingesting methanol (a component of many commercial solvents) can
(See attached file for diagrams) 1. For a Michaelis-Menten reaction, k1 = 5 x 107 M-1 s-1, k-1 = 2 x 104 s-1, and k2 = 4 x 102 s-1. Calculate Ks and Km for this reaction. Does substrate binding achieve equilibrium or the steady state? 2. At what substrate concentration will an enzyme having a kcat of 30 s-1 and a Km of 0
The activity of an enzyme was determined in the presence and absence of a suspected inhibitor. You can see the activity data in the attached Word document. Plot the data using the double reciprocal plot (Lineweaver-Burk) to determine whether the suspected inhibitor acts noncompetitively, competitively, or uncompetitively. Cal
The KM of a Michaelis-Menten enzyme for a substrate is 1.0 x 10-4 M. At a substrate concentration of 0.2 M, Vo=43x10^-6 M for a certain enzyme concentration. However, with a substrate concentration of 0.02 M, Vo has the same value. (A) Using numerical calculations show that this observation is accurate. (B) What is the best
Five reaction mixtures containing equal concentrations of an enzyme are prepared to the substrate concentrations indicated in the table below, and the initial rates are measured. The experiment is then repeated with an enzyme inhibitor present at a concentration of 2.2 x 10-4 M in each reaction mixture. By use of Lineweaver-Burk
